‘Dead set, she was trying to kill me’

A MAN who was filmed punching a female motorist in the face has said he was "scared s**tless" and was in fear for his life at the time he saw red.

Clint Pollard, who hasn't spoken publicly before, pleaded guilty to assault and was fined $900 for the road rage incident that occurred last year.

The person he assaulted, Bianca Sims, was herself convicted and is serving 140 hours community service due to the violent fracas between the two motorists.

Sims has said she wants an apology.

Pollard is having none of it: "I'm ashamed of myself, but I shouldn't need to say sorry".

The angry exchange between the pair, which involved not just punches but chisels and strips of nails being used as weapons saw Pollard almost run over.

The incident was one of several featured on Channel 7's Sunday Night which examined the victims and perpetrators of road rage.

Bianca Sams’ head flies back after Clint Pollard punches her in the face in a notorious road rage incident.

Chances Moana, 20, told the program he knows he did wrong when he punched Andrew Nerlich 15 times when the 63-year-old retiree rear-ended the tradie in May.

He was supposed to appear in court last month over the incident but never turned up because, due to a bizarre twist of fate, he was involved in a motorcycle accident that has left him, for the moment at least, in a wheelchair. In his absence, he was found guilty.

"I'm a strong believer in karma. And he got it," said truckie Steven Bloor who witnessed the violent attack.

On May 11, Mr Nerlich and Moana's vehicles made contact with one another as they changed lanes on Sydney's northern beaches.

Speaking to reporter Matthew Doran, Moana said he "retaliated" for the collision between his Ute and Mr Nerlich's Hyundai hatchback.

"I just opened up his door and … punched him a couple of times.

It wasn't a couple of times, it was almost quadruple that number.

Mr Nerlich said he sensed the episode wasn't going to end well.

"Just the way that he was walking (towards me) indicated that he was ready for battle. (I thought) I'm in trouble here."
